I bet you didn’t know it was her birthday, did you? Who am I fooling? The entire world knows it is her birthday. Even the Empire State Building is lit up white/white for her birthday – get it, vanilla, vanilla? I bet you were thinking racist thoughts instead.

Enjoy this threesome of birthday songs. And Ms. Summers, I insist that you listen to each one.

The first birthday song to get you started is from Röyskopp.

PLAY Happy Birthday

The second birthday song is from The Birthday Party. I know that Dawn is a Nick Cave fan so she should enjoy this one. ; )

PLAY Happy Birthday

The third birthday song is from Altered Images. Whenever I think of birthday songs, this one always pops into my head, even before The Beatles and Sugarcubes.

PLAY Happy Birthday

I considered using The Smith’s Unhappy Birthday but Dawn would really think that I hate her if I had included it in the threesome.

As our Independence Day nears I thought I’d do a threesome of politically-tinged songs. Enjoy!

The three songs are not from the same artist but are instead three cover songs.

First up is Gary Numan’s Down in the Park covered by the Foo Fighters.

PLAY Down In The Park

Second is The Lovemongers covering Led Zeppelin’s Battle of Evermore.

PLAY Battle Of Evermore

And finally, Moby covers Joy Division with New Dawn Fades.
